One third of Americans (almost 19 million!) enroll in Medicare Advantage plans. And these managed care organizations are being found to skimp on quality care for their members in order to save money.

A recent research study by David Meyers, Vince Mor, and Momotazur Rahman at Brown University, found that “seniors in traditional fee-for-service Medicare are more likely to be admitted to high quality nursing facilities than MA enrollees.

This means that enrolling in a Medicare Advantage plan may not be the best choice for you!

If you or your loved one needs or may need access to high quality skilled nursing facilities, Boomer Savings Center highly recommends a Medicare Supplement (or Medigap) plan. We can find you a plan that fits your needs and gives you choices to find the best health coverage for you.

This is the best time to switch to Medicare Supplement plans!
